摘要：

A vivid illustration of shared storytelling, collective centring, and collective sense-making appears in this study of one non-profit organization. Organizational members identify two stories that express the collective sense and allow centring on the shared meaning. Sense-making in a structurally closed organization is demonstrated. Organizational dynamics and root metaphors are examined and several approaches to the analysis of organizational myth and story are utilized. Dissonance between organizational members and the president is apparent even though the organization is rooted in a unitary reality.
